"Is there really glass there?", asked everyone who looked at it - and even then, each one had to go up and touch it to be sure. Though "Museum Glass" is more expensive, it's startling in the difference. With a shadowbox piece of art, it's even more evident.
That was my biggest Aha a week ago when I attended an opening party for The Frame Shop in the historic Grand Central Business District of St Petersburg. The new business is owned by new residents (and clients) Susan and Jeremiah Rohr, who have settled into a wonderful old bungalow in the Kenwood neighborhood.
Yes, if you're here in the St Petersburg area they'll go to your home to hang the art, or to consult on suitable matting and framing. You who live away from here can benefit, too, though - they'll be happy to crate and ship the art for you.
Planning a move? Why pack and pay a mover for those art pieces you've wanted to have framed or reframed? Have Jeremiah and Susan frame them and ship or deliver them to your new address.
What a great idea Sharon. The expensive stuff makes preserving the artwork that much better. There really is a difference in this high end material.
Gary - now if there was a glass that made US look that much better ....
Sharon, Is non glare glass considered the same or similar to museum glass. Inquiring minds would like to know.
Margaret - although they have some similarities, museum glass is much superior to just non-glare glass.
Sharon, Just took another look at your photo and the museum glass makes such a huge difference. I would like to see a comparison of the non glare and museum glass.
